Hi guys, I have a question, I would love for you guys to clarify. Are horizontal stripes always a sign of stress and/or illness? I know that vertical stripes on female bettas, is a sign of being ready for breeding. Thank you, Patty

Hi guys, I have a question about the plant circled in red. I do know it's an Anubias. I bought it as Anubias Nana but this plant is larger than the Anubias Nana I see online. Is it Anubias Barteri? Thank you, Patty

They don't look round. More like claw-like. Here are close ups.

I'm so confused now. He's acting normal now. He's color came back, just a little grayish/brownish on the head and stomach. He doesn't look bloated anymore. He's swimming normal too. He's exploring the tank and not hanging near the filter intake tube. Here's a video of him today...

Hi guys, How the heck do you light a 2.5 gallon betta tank with live low light plants? I mean if I put the 10 watt cfl bulb I bought, wouldn't that be too much light? I won't be using CO2. Wouldn't that create an algae farm in my little tank? Thanks, Patty

Hi Guys! Its been long while since I posted. 20H Gallon Tank Fauna: 1 Male Betta (Cosmo) 1 Olive Nerite 1 Zebra Nerite [In the process of restocking] Flora: Java fern reg. and windelov, Echinodorus Parviflorus Tropica, Anubias Barteri Nana, Crypt Wendtii green, Crypt Mi Oya, Crypt Undulata...

No. Makes me wonder what happen to the other fishes that died.

I have never dose any ferts. Could that be one of the problems too.

What diy CO2 do you recommend? Do I still need to dose ferts? Sorry for all the questions but when I saw my plants in this condition, I really freaked out.

Sorry. I was trying to look for that other thread but could not find it. I try searching for it. even try looking at all my posts. I guess the App was acting up on my end. Thank you! going to reduce the time to 6 hours now. I have a 20 gallon high tank. I have a Exo Terra 3 bulb light...

Hi guys, :( Like the till title says, leeches and now it looks like I have like BBA (Black Beard Algae). The BBA is all over the plants. Don't know what to do. The parameters are fine: Ammo 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 20 Need your help guys. I don't want to lose any fish or all my plants.

Thanks Andrew!

I was told they either came in the plants or on the fish.

I have 3 daylight CFL bulbs 10 Watts each on from 8:30am to 7:30pm on my 20 gal high. I don't use CO2 out liquid carbon.

Thanks. So the leech didn't kill more than half my fish? Couldn't be old age out the parameters because I check them once a week.

So I might try Amano shrimp then! Thanks for the tip. You need to get some Habrosus cories they are cute little buggers!!:) So sad I lost 5 of them!! :( Do you think the Microrasboras and ember tetras are small enough I can have a small school of both? What you guys think?
